Failture and success
In one way, it may be thought that failure(失败) is a part of life. In another, failture may be regarded as a step towards success.
The “spider（蜘蛛）story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots(苏格兰人的) in the 13th century, was hiding (藏)in a hole. He watched a spider making a web.(网) Bruce was said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the enemy. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb（电灯泡）, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time.
Second, is the goal（目标）you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: “If I am successful in this, what will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “Live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”
